If you do not submit anything at all, you will NOT be allowed to submit a resit piece of coursework. Short ‘deferrals’ (extensions) of up to 3 calendar weeks can be given for genuine reasons (such as medical reasons). Bad time management, theft, loss, or computer malfunctions, are not valid reasons.
